John Trossen, the main guide on the lake catches some big lakers through the ice. If you go back on Lake-Link he has some pictures from this winter. Lots of guys also troll them up with downriggers during the open water season. My friend Rich pulled out a 30''er two Novembers ago fishing for smallies as well. With that said, they are a pretty tough bite. I certainly have never sniffed one, and I often fish 30'+ deep late in the Fall. The rainbows and browns are much more sporadic. A shore fishermen caught the inland state trout record there in January 2006, which has since been broken. It also hold the inland state brown trout record. I have seen a few pics of browns the late, late season walleye trollers have pulled in and they are awesome. Very sporadic though, and the guys that have caught them have put some major time on the water. My In-Fisherman subscription is up, so I will have to pick up the issue. Should be interesting and I imagine it will spur more people to get out there and try for them.
